2018: 3D printing of brakes

On January 23, 2018, the Bugatti automaker announced the launch of a project to create titanium brake calipers on a 3D printer.

Bugatti became the world's first manufacturer to use 3D printing to develop brake calipers. The technical partner of Bugatti in this project was Laser Zentrum Nord, which provided the 3D printer necessary for work.

The eight-piston monoblock is made of an alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium and is the largest part printed using the additive technology of layer-by-layer 3D printing of the element using 400 watt lasers. It takes designers 45 hours to manufacture. First, the metal powder is heated up to 700 degrees, then it is laid out in 2213 layers. Each brake caliper weighs 2.9 kg, which is 2 kg less than the aluminum analogue. Titanium is stronger than aluminum in its structure, it can withstand a pressure of 125 kg/mm.

The total production time took about three months, including the initial design phase and the final post-production phase, which was also carried out by the Bugatti team after receiving the finished 3D printed caliper.

This 3D printed caliper should be the first stage in improving the production technologies of the Bugatti automaker.
